Thanks and credit goes to the original taper - RB (aka analog4011).  A very
big thank you for sharing this wonderful upgrade from the original master
cassette!

The UFO double album Strangers In The Night was long thought to have been
recorded in Chicago.  But I think little of the Chicago show actually made
it to the final SITN record.  Six shows were recorded for SITN:
Oct 13 1978 Chicago
Oct 14 1978 Kenosha WI
Oct 15 1978 Youngstown OH
Oct 16 1978 Cleveland OH
Oct 17 1978 Columbus OH
Oct 18 1978 Louisville OH

Of these six recordings, the Cleveland Oct 16 show is part of the UFO
Official Bootleg Box Set 1974-1983 that was released in 2009.
Also, the Youngstown OH from Oct 15 1978 is set to be officially released
on Record Store Day June 20 2020.

The crowed size was the largest in Chicago, so the opening intro "Hello
Chicago, would you please welcome from England - UFO" was certainly from
the Chicago show as well as Lights Out (or parts of Lights Out) where Phil 
Mogg sings "Lights Out, Lights Out Chicago" followed by an audience roar.
If you listen to this audience recording of Lights Out at 3:05, Phil will
sing Lights Out Chicago and then again at 3:18 Lights Out Chicago.  But on
the SITN version at 2:40, there is only one Lights Out Chicago.  Also on
this audience recording there is no audience roar following the Lights Out
Chicago line like there is on SITN.

Most of the officially released SITN comes from Youngstown OH and Cleveland
OH with only a few pieces from Chicago.  Two tracks, Mother Mary and This
Kids, on SITN are actually studio tracks with crowd noise from Chicago added
in to make them sound live.

If you want to hear the true Stranges in the Night, then this audience
recording from RB is a gem to enjoy.  A higher generation version of this
recording was released on Hot N Ready as a pressed 2CD Japanese bootleg
(sometime around 1992-1996).  I say thank you to a fellow DIMER for sharing
Hot N Ready with me a number of years ago.  But this torrent is an upgrade
from Hot N Ready because it is a fresh transfer from RB's master cassette.
Thank you again RB!!  Please listen and enjoy!

Samples will be included.

If you make a comment, please remember to thank RB - the original taper.

My Want List

it's been awhile, write to ijwthstd AT yahoo DOT com if you can help     **ETERNAL WANT LIST**  (Nothing added since Dec 25 post, just bumping to the top for new users) In this total media universe with everything at my fingertips, individual shows have taken on a lot less importance, however I still want to get my eyes and ears on these. This was copied off a much older list where I deleted several found titles so it's not impossible I'd say I have plenty to trade but I stopped withholding stuff for those purposes years ago. I can always offer up the super secret Mystery Drive list of my friend's rare masters (1971 to 2017) and pull something from there. Really one of the only things I am hoarding is that list only to preserve my sanity. Remember your hoarded recordings are only worth something while there are still people alive who care. Therapy? @ Whisky A Go Go Nov 1992  (this was recorded) Therapy @ The Roxy 5/4/96 (saw this on a list of Westwood One shows,...

This probably won't be up very long, it will be considered obsolete as soon as another source pops up. I won't be going to any other shows. Today's playlist in a few hours   https://pixeldrain.com/u/r7oXPsi1

DVD Repost Dump (updated 2026-10-05)

DVD Bootleg Union Repost dump. I found this folder on a long neglected hard drive and will use it to fill out some space from the Google drive 2TB / $2.99 a month sale. I will keep these up a few weeks at least then they will be gone forever. Most DVD's are filed away and buried. There may be screenshots and info files somewhere if you search. Keep bookmarked as I am going to keep adding but the folder is going to take a few days to a week to fill up. Not everything I posted here was saved.  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16ziBqZ7qps0yq_-lFaN2xDp3mam3xjpH?usp=drive_link     AEROSMITH @ CLARKSTON, MI 2014-09-09 AEROSMITH @ ROCK IN RIO 2017-09-21 GG ALLIN / DEE DEE RAMONE @ REHEARSAL 1991-11-00 BAT FOR LASHES @ COACHELLA 2013-04-13 BEASTIE BOYS @ EXIT FESTIVAL 2007-07-13 BEYONCE @ COACHELLA 2018-04-14  BLUES PILLS @ WERCHTER, BELGIUM  2017-07-01 CHARLI XCX @ OPEN'ER FESTIVAL  2017-06-29 CHEAP TRICK @ HOUSTON, TX 1977-1978 CHLOE x HALLE @ COACHELLA 201...
